The not-so-complete Beyond
My BEYOND is coming to town!!!
They will be holding their concert on 8 November (MY BIRTHDAY!!! So coincidental) at Singapore Indoor Stadium. I am still pondering if I should go leh cos it's really expensive and MOST IMPORTANTLY, they do not come as a full band this time. But I really really really like them leh. They are my longest surviving idol so far. So you tell me la... How How How???
I could still remember how I fell in love with them. When I say fell in love hor, I am not exaggerating. I really fell for them that time especially Ka Keung.
Let me tell you how I realised BEYOND. The story goes like this...
I used to like those angmo boybands like Boyzone la, BSB la, 911 la, Human Nature la, blah blah blah la... in short, those handsome pretty angmo I all like la :Þ
Then on Vesak Day 1996 (I can still remember very vividly), I happened to switch on my TV and it was showing this one hour special BEYOND mini concert. Watched them perform with their guitars and stuff and I was mesmerised. They are so very man wor!!! That's when my taste of guys changed from BOYS to MEN.
I was so crazy about them that I bought all their albums I could find within a few months. You must bear in mind that I was still a student then. I dun have much money then so I really scrimped and saved just to buy all those albums.
Got this one time I gave up my favourite fishball mee (sold by Jin Tai Seconday School auntie) for 5 consecutive days just to buy their Live and Basic concert LD. I managed to buy the LD in the end but I never get to eat my fishball mee again. The auntie was killed in a car accident.
I was upset. Firstly cos I would not be able to have the chance to enjoy auntie's food. Secondly cos I know that auntie personally mah. Eat until I know lo. I always become friends with the aunties and uncles that sell me food de cos if I like that store, I can eat the same dish for a few months in a row one... kakakaka...
Alamak... side track. Back to BEYOND.
Ya, the level of my siaoness for BEYOND is indescribable la. Their first concert in Singapore (after Ka Kui's death) was in 1996. I became their fan only after the concert so did not manage to attend.
Waited for a LOOONNNNGGGG 9 years for them to come back. They held their second concert in Singapore in October 2005. How could I miss it right? Bought the most expensive one and had a great time there. That was supposingly to be their last concert, so as they claimed.
But now, they are back and with only two members somemore. A bit disappointing but still they are part of BEYOND leh... so you tell me la. To go or not to go?
Their most expensive ticket is sold at S$188 leh. Plus $3 sistic charge and that's a total of S$191 leh. Very expensive wor. I can buy dunno how many scrapbook materials with that amount lo.
Hiyahz.... really headache leh.
Here comes 小美人 许芮绮

Yesh.... finally manage to complete this entry and post it online. Took me a while cos it's been nearly two months since I last posted QiQi's pics online. I have so many photos to choose from and so many things to type la. I blogged until a bit tired (my words are getting lesser and lesser as you read through this entry... kekeke...
****************************
Please be warned that the following pics you are about to see are irresistibily cute. It features my QiQi in her new LadyBird-design apparel.
I bought the clothes near my workplace. Too cute to resist la. Saw it hanging by one of the push-cart while taking the escalator up to office one day. Resisted the temptation of walking forward but then......
It came back to me when I was on my way home. I saw it once again while taking the escalator down. My feet just didn't want to listen to instructions la. Brought me straight to the front of the push-cart.... hahaha... I was immediately served by the friendly salesperson. I thought the price (S$18) for such adorable outfit is reasonable la... so bought it in the end.... hahahaha
It was worth the buy la... cos I flashed it to my parents and ah Long when they returned home from work. All agreed that it was totally, absolutely and completely cute lo... Ah Long even asked me to buy another piece --> Bee-design de... which I did buy subsequently.. :P
QiQi in the LadyBird apparel. Cute right????
Want to be her God-father or God-mother??? wahahaha... must show me your income tax statement first... wahahaha
The two things hanging on the head is supposed to be the feelers (or whatever you call it la)... Hiyoh... my daughter is so irresistible....
****************************
不认老都不行. Used to attend and celebrate my friends' birthdays but now I'm attending the birthdays/full month showers of my friends' babies instead...
Somewhere in June, I was invited to ShinLer's (Yuling's son) full month shower. I saw a lot of young couples bringing their kids and babies along. This particular baby caught my attention. He was sleeping soundly, making no noise BUT he caught my attention. Want to know why????
BECAUSE...
This baby boy who was only 4 mths old then, weighs an astounding 10kg!!! Wa cau... that is super big lo.
*For those who dunno how to gauge... my QiQi is 10 months now and weighs about 8.5kg
So you say la... that baby scary anot lo... wa biang... 10kg leh at 4 mths... king kong man.
Some pictures taken at ShinLer's full month shower
Aileen's 乖 daughter, Andrea with QiQi at the back. Look at Andrea's face...
awwww... so sweet
The three xiao guas, from the oldest to the youngest... Andrea, my xiao QiQi and little ShinLer who can really sleep despite having all the noise around him.
If only my QiQi is like that...
I touch you, you touch me... I dunno why this picture turned out to be so touchy... Andrea touching QiQi, QiQi touching Mengru, then there's dunno whose hand touching ShinLer...
Little pretty Andrea playing with QiQi. 
QiQi trying to play with Andrea. But QiQi only knows how to beat her and pull her hair (unintentionally of course lo)... hehehe...
Back at home
Naughty daddy playing with naughty QiQi.
Qi was a little pissed when we took this picture cos she was happily playing with her own toy before we disturbed her. Look at her buay siong face.
Machiam first time see daddy like that...
QiQi grabbing Ah Long's hair cos she felt insecure being held so high up.
The problem is... Ah Long doesn't have much hair for her to grab!!! :Þ Poor Ah Long
QiQi picking the "Gu Tus" from daddy's head... good la... free service
At CityChain IMM
It was a boring Saturday afternoon. Nothing better to do except to take care of QiQi...
With me being bored and QiQi being hong sim (wanting to go out), I decided to bring her to IMM to see her daddy. Anyway, Ah Long was complaining of not being able to see her much that weekend as he was scheduled to work on both Saturday and Sunday... so one stone kills two birds la... *clever right*
Daddy with QiQi. If you are observant enough... hahaha... yesh you are right... Aku let QiQi wear the same ladybird outfit yet again... hohoho... $18 per piece leh... you know la... kids grow very fast de... so I must make full use of my $18 ma... wahahaha...
The way she stands (in the pic) looks like Jack Dawson(Leonardo DiCaprio in Titanic)
"I'm the QUEEN of the world" says QiQi. 
****************************
I did mention about the Bee design outfit right... hahahaha... here goes.... This is it le... Behind still got wings one okie... super cute lo
小密峰装。超可爱的。
I tell you... QiQi looks like me when I was a baby... next time I post my baby photo up let you all compare and you all judge ok... hehehe
Play with keys only so happy... easily contended
Waiting to see the pediatrician
QiQi's most hated moment... INJECTION!!! Our most hated moment too cos one injection easily costs us S$200 or more. Super expensive. I feel my heart ache when I make payment at the counter but still have to inject la cos I rather be safe than sorry (Dun say I kiasu hor... wait till u become parent then u will know la)
Being a children clinic, the place was actually filled with little toys at one corner for the kids to play and divert their attention. QiQi's eyes were like fixed at those toys the moment we stepped into the clinic lo... so how could we not let her play with them leh...
At first, QiQi still acted dao la... dun want to play with the toys wor...
u scroll down see some more........ 
Curious Qi in action liao... never see before game right in front of her...
how could she miss it man???
See the "antenna" on Qi's head??? They can stand de... unlike the feelers of the LadyBird outfit... cute right??? Those people really know how to do business la... make these kind of cute outfit sia parents to buy for their children... 
New toy new toy... got new de jiu dun want old de liao... how typical...
Qi with funny expression
QiQi really inherits Ah Long's ability to make funny expression. You see this QiQi la... dunno learn from where de... keep doing the 'O' face...
Whenever she does this expression, she will let out a "O" sound. Super funny... but hor.. I scare her nose will be flat la... I'm starting to pinch her nose whenever I can le... hope it's not too late...
Close up "O" face
Cheeky cheeky
A day at Vivo City
Dun ask me why I keep going Vivo City. I actually wanted to go Orchard but got ERP leh... so headed to ViVo lo. Anyway, I have never taken photos in front of the water features near the entrance of Vivo mah...
It was National Day itself... so I forced Ah Long to put on his one and only pink shirt and yesh... QiQi in her LadyBird outfit yet again... hohoho.
Anyway, never regret going to Vivo lo cos we saw Kenneth and his wife there. We knew this couple while on our trip to Europe. This couple damn rich de cos Kenneth has his own construction company. Albeit being rich, this couple never has that air of arrogance. A very down-to-earth couple.
Got a pleasant surprise from them too. They also have a baby le. It's a boy. Three months old le... Congratulations wor!!!
How time flies really. Both us couples were like enjoying our holidays carelessly then but a year later, we all have our own kids and travelling posts a problem now.
Ah Long and QiQi
Ah Ting & QiQi. Finally.... a photo of me and Qi after such a long blog!!!
It's always Ah Long and QiQi cos I am the one who always take out the camera and snap pictures lo. So unfair
Super-no-give-face Qi let out a big yawn while taking picture with Ah Long... 
Actually I don't like this photo cos can see my bui ba... hehehe... but Qi looks so adorable in this pic... so what the heck lo...
See Qi's face... she was so reluctant to put her feet into the water initially... but then.... 
Seconds later... was happily soaking her feet in the water liao
So much so that she didn't even bother to look up despite me shouting her name out loud...
There we go again... putting QiQi in this little pram sold in Toy'R'us... hohoho
Itchy hand Qi
Anybody???? QiQi for S$24.95... wahahaha... you wish ar... where got so cheap??? wahahaha
QiQi on bike. Blur pic cos she kept fidgeting leh...
National Day 09/08/08
Thinking of taking more pics of QiQi, we brought her to East Coast Park after watching Michael Phelps' swimming competition.
We almost could not recognise East Coast Park wor. It has changed so much. I bet you can't recognise it either if you are not a frequent East Coast "Parker"... :Þ
This is East Coast Park. Near McDonald's
Chioz
Found a dinosaur in East Coast Park... out of nowhere...
Suppose to be a nice photo but dunno why got those 'stands' there la... kill the scenary lo
My arms were getting tired so I simply put QiQi on the 'stand' without checking if it was hot!!! Oops... I think it was hot lo... see her expression.... 
We were happily taking our photos, enjoying the late morning sea breeze and ALL OF THE SUDDEN, it started to pour. Not drizzle wor... it's big droplets of rain. We practically ran for our lives man. We hurriedly put Qi back to her pram, covered the pram with my jacket and pushed her all the way back to shelter.
Really damn "heng" lo. We were there for like only 20 mins and it started to pour. Spent about half an hour standing under a shade, outside a restaurant, waiting for the rain to stop.
Doubly "heng"... the stupid shade got holes lo... here leak a bit, there leak a bit. *(*^%*)&%#
When the rain became slightly smaller, we quickly ran to our car and drove off. Having no breakfast, we headed to Bedok to tabao la.... *Bedok de food very nice... yum yum*
Since it was pouring outside and Qi fell asleep in the car while on our way to Bedok, Ah Long had to go and buy our lunch all by himself lo. While waiting, I took out my hp and started taking photo... 反正闲着也是闲着。
QiQi sleeping comfortably in my arms... Me happily snapping photos...
Must be the "kecha kecha" sound made by my hp... Qi woke up shortly after that. Since she already woke up, might as well take pics together lo
My favourite picture
****************************
Before bringing Qi back to Bt Panjang, we brought her to West Coast Park. Somewhat compensating for the short time we spent on East Coast Park in the morning ma.... kekekeke
That's my McDonald's
Olympics scandal 1
Thursday, August 14, 2008
Warning: This entry is blogged entirely based on my personal opinion and is rather offensive to some (especially the Chinese). So if you can't take it, please do not carry on any further. Dun say I never say....
*********************************************
I have never really liked China. As far as possible, I try suppressing this feeling of mine and not making it too obvious... (I dun think I manage to hide it well though :Þ)
But after reading the newspapers and the following article, I cannot tahan anymore la. Got to blog about this. (A bit late cos my dear teacher has already blogged about it lo... kudos to you for being so prompt :Þ)
http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5gvdGdbFHvF8M_eJh8CSMEIbZ8tFAD92H7U480I tell you... China has totally lost its morality altogether. Is image really that important that they can completely foresake a poor kid's feeling??? How can they be so "shallow"? Haven't they heard of this phrase "never judge a book by its cover"?
Being a mummy myself. I cannot imagine my QiQi in little Yang Peiyi's situation. That seriously is going to hurt the poor little girl's feeling really badly.
Poor Little PeiYi
"I am honoured that they used my voice" says Peiyi.
"You will be lagi honoured if you stand up on that stage with that red dress, singing that song publicly" says Ah Ting.
The girl who stole all the limelight "I feel so pretty wearing that red dress" says Lin MiaoKe
"You happy meh??? Those stupid adults are telling you that you got no talents, only looks. Next time be clever a bit. Dun accept jobs like this. Must got backbone a bit. " says Ah Ting.
What's the point of getting the best-looking people to represent the face of China when the whole world knows how MOST Chinese look. It's sad for me to say this (cos I am a Chinese myself) BUT I personally feel that Chinese are the ugliest among all races.
A simple example using their pretty little girl - Lin MiaoKe. I dun deny that she is pretty and cute.
(Otherwise she would not be chosen to be the one performing on stage le right???) BUT when you compare her to an ordinary caucasian girl (see below), is she really that cute???
Pic taken randomly from the Net
I dun mean to compare. My point is... most Chinese are born with flat nose, single eyelid (for some) and no real outstanding features. This is so unlike the Caucasians, Malays, Indians and the blacks whose features are so much nicer than Chinese.
[P/S: Of course, for those Chinese with extremely sharp features or dun look Chinese, they are either mixed or obviously tampered upon de la...]
So if it is a known fact that Chinese are born not-so-pretty, then why is China still doing this? They can get the best looking Chinese to participate in the opening and closing ceremony (I bet their closing ceremony is going to be as spectacular as their opening de - Sibei want face) BUT they can't change the fact that Chinese are not as good looking wat.
Another random pic taken from the Net. Eurasians/Caucasians have deeper features as compared to Asians. In terms of looks, Asians are not as good looking as them.
Want more examples... Just look at Chinese athletes lo. You tell me... where got pretty or handsome de??? Please do not tell me that their super diver Guo Jing Jing is pretty lo... She is absolutely NOT at all pretty. Plus she has got a pair of 'feng yan' (which I hated most) lagi ugly...
Those people who say this kind of face is pretty... well... this goes to show that beauty indeed lies in the eyes of the beholder. And that the beholder must either be seriously short-sighted or nearly blind.
On the other hand, I can easily spot Miss Pretty and Mr Handsome from other countries.
I can't quote you names of Miss Pretty la cos I never bother to remember their names.... hahahaha... I mean what for right... make myself jealous only....
However, I can quote you with some Mr Handsome's names wor... wahahaha... go check them out yourself ba (I did check their profile via the Offical website of Olympics. They not photogenic la. If you see them on TV, they are actually very handsome de... :Þ)
